In a new report published by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, Michigan students will have expanded access to an overload of educational probabilities.

Flex Learning is a program that implements students, especially those who come from low-income houses and rural areas, with more educational options.

Students who are in middle and high school will have the opportunity to enroll in any class or any educational program offered by the Michigan school system. 

The programs will be a part of the remote education curriculum offered since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Students can now engage in any technical program, take a community college or university course or any other authorized training class from a private teacher.  

“Every student in Michigan is unique and deserves access to a variety of options that will help propel them to success,” said Ben DeGrow, director of education policy at the Mackinac Center and author of the paper in a press release. “By expanding opportunities for those in low-income homes and rural areas, students will be able to utilize the tools already afforded to those in affluent schools.”
